Bus is the cheapest way to travel between Vang Vieng and Luang
\nPrabang. Minibuses are just a little more expensive, but are
\ngenerally worth it beacuse they are quicker and more conformtable.
\n Mini-buses frop you into town, saving a tuk tuk ride from the bus
\nstation (10,000 Kip per person).
\n Route 13 between Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang is now sealed, but
\nstill a little lumpy in places, and still very, very twisty. It’s
\na memorable journey, with stunning scenary of rolling landscapes, hills
\nand roadside village life. You’ll see great scenary seated on
\neither side of the vehicle, but sitting on the right hand side of the
\nvehicle, traveling from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang, probably gives the
\nbest views.<\/p>\n
At Laos festival time check and book your transport and accommodation in advance, as things get booked up, and crammed.<\/p>\n
Private VIP buses cost 100,000Kip and leave from the bus dirt yard
\njust
\noutside of town at 10am. The trip takes 7 hours. Tickets
\nare available from guesthouses and travel agents. Transfer by tuk
\ntuk to the bus yard should be included in the ticket price. Buses
\narrive in Luang Prabang at the southern bus terminal. Tuk tuks
\nwill be waiting to take you in to town for 10,000Kip per person. Most VIP buses are actually basic. Some
\nbuses have aircon, but it’s a gamble how
\nwell they work. Some buses store the luggage underneath, others
\non the roof. The bus stops for a break near the middle of the
\njourney, where you can buy baguettes, Laos food and drinks. At
\nLaos New Year (mid April) buses will be packed, with extra seats being
\nadded to the aisle. <\/p>\n
Mini-buses cost 105,000Kip, typically leaving at 9am, and take
\n6 hours to get to Luang Prabang. Tickets are available from
\nguesthouses and travel agents. The journey can be more
\ncomfortable than a big bus, as the smaller vehicle rides over the steep
\nterrain better than a larger vehicle. I have seen some without
\nworking air conditioning, which would not be nice, but most seem to be
\nworking OK. Mini-buses should pick you up from your guesthouse in
\nVang Vieng, and drop you at one in Luang Prabang, saving the need for a
\ntuk tuk ride into town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
